The Beautiful Mares
The backbone of our breeding program....
They rule our lives ...and our breeding decisions....with femininity, fortitude and presence..
While stallions may come and go in the world's fickle desire for something 'new', the mares are here tostay...quietly making their valuable contribution to a responsible breeding program.
While no one's mares are 'perfect', we feel ours have an abundance of outstanding qualities that they consistently pass along to their foals. These lovely ladies make us look good, and we are grateful! Without them in their honored position, there would be no Ancient Oaks.....Ancient Oaks Farm selects it's mares with scrutiny and insight.. We believe the mare to be far more than 50% of the equation. We believe the mare
contributes those abstract qualities often so difficult to predict. Fortitude, boldness, inquisitiveness, respect, self esteem, and performance under pressure. Although often inherited to a degree from either parent, they can be enhanced or suppressed by the quality of mothering. Ancient Oaks factors these qualities in along with their evaluations of form and conformational qualities that will enhance those possessed by the mares. Never do they try and "fix" a mare, choosing instead to create superior individuals from two outstanding ones. Nor do they feel any one breed has a monopoly on performance qualities, but that the individual horse, it's family, and it's offspring, are the best indicators of success with each mating.
